[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Stearns is the best.  We used it on my daughter when she was 28 lbs and she was fine.

I don't get all the parents knocking them - they are great![b] Not a single parent in here is plopping their kid in a puddle jumper, throwing them in the deep end and walking away to go lounge on a chair.  [/b]Come on people.[/quote]

Oh yes they do. I see this all the time.

For the record, no kid has ever drowned in a puddle jumper.[/quote]

You may be right, I didn’t look up the statistics like you did. But the data I do have shows it’s worse than that. It’s drowning when they aren’t using it because you’ve trained them to swim in a drowning position. You’ve taught them how to drown, not how to swim, though a kid doesn’t know the difference.

+1, the fact that it’s 2024, drowning deaths are increasing - not decreasing - and people don’t understand this is truly astonishing. Do people use the same logic with car seats? “I’m a safe driver so he’s fine!” Insanity. My kids have never used one, love the water but have a very healthy level of fear and respect for it.
